Today is officially 6 months or half a year since Jonathan and I have been married! Saying half a year seems so long to me! This 6th month as been super busy. The best thing we have done is celebrate our first Christmas together as a married couple! I will have another post about our Christmas road trip later. Jonathan and I also got to attend our first wedding as a married couple! It was so much fun and different going being married than being single. Whenever I went to a wedding being single I would always imagine what my wedding would be like or what I would do, etc. But at this wedding it just reminded me of my wedding day I already had and all the good memories that have come with it. I wish I could just replay that day over and over! I think I look at our wedding pictures at least once every few weeks!

Here are some pictures of my good friend, Lesli's wedding! She got married in San Antonio on December 18. It was a beautiful Christmas wedding and it was so good to see so many friends from college!


While we were in San Antonio, we had to visit with D'Lynn and Brooke! A trip to SA is definitely not complete without seeing them! Jonathan also got to try out his brand new Panasonic GH2 camera on all of us!

So this past Sunday Jonathan and I had a Christmas date night! We started off by making some gingerbread cookies to decorate...this was actually Jonathan's idea! I found this recipe online. They aren't for making actual gingerbread cookies but we made it work and they were really good. The actual gingerbread men we made were thin so they came out a little crunchy but the regular cookies we made were super soft and yummy! They have a mild ginger taste to them which I like. Here's the recipe: Big Soft Ginger Cookies

Jonathan did all the cutting out of the gingerbread men/women! hehe Here's our decorated cookies!


We also went to Starbucks and got some caramel apple spice ciders and went to look at Christmas lights. It's a MUST that we get our Starbucks drinks before we ever look at Christmas lights...it also helped that it was cold that night because it made it feel more Christmas-y. We were trying to find a close, good place to look at lights since it was getting pretty late. So we ended up in Richardson in some neighborhood that had super cute lights then we just went back to Deerfield in Plano to look there. These pics are from Deerfield. They are not very good since I took them with my iphone.


Such a perfect evening with my husband! I am definitely looking forward to spending our first Christmas together as husband and wife! ;)
